This study introduces a multiscale model to simulate blood clot (thrombus) formation, revealing its complex internal structure and dependence on blood flow rate. The model accurately predicts clot development stages and size, validated by experimental data.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Computational Biology
  • Hemodynamics

Background:

  • Thrombus formation is a complex process involving blood flow dynamics and cellular interactions.
  • Understanding thrombus development is crucial for treating thrombotic diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel two-dimensional multiscale model for simulating thrombus formation.
  • To investigate the internal structure and growth dynamics of thrombi under varying conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A multiscale model integrating continuum Navier-Stokes equations for blood flow and a stochastic discrete cellular Potts model for cellular interactions.
  • Simulation of blood plasma, platelets (activated and non-activated), blood cells, chemicals, fibrinogen, and vessel wall interactions.
  • Model robustness testing against parameter fluctuations.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully simulates the inhomogeneous internal structure of thrombus formation, consistent with preliminary experimental data.
  • Simulation results show a dependence of thrombus size on blood flow rate that closely matches experimental observations.
  • Predictions regarding different stages of thrombus development were made, offering testable hypotheses.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multiscale model provides a robust framework for studying thrombus formation.
  • The model accurately captures key aspects of thrombus development, including structure and flow-rate dependence.
  • This computational approach can guide future experimental investigations into thrombosis.
